Was Chambers Right?
- Abstract
To the Editor:
In his article, “Why Whittaker Chambers Was Wrong” [April], Charles Horner concludes that the apparent demise of Communism proves that Whittaker Chambers was wrong when he asserted his belief that in breaking with Communism, he was leaving the winning side for the losing side.
Chambers considered Communism a symptom of the crisis of civilization, not the crisis itself. That crisis involved the question of faith in man or faith in God.
